Some cool images of the setting moon over Boulder from last week.  Check out the archives.

Timelapse of the moon set on Jan 12th

The daily time lapse movie is operational once again.   From May 26th to Dec 25th it was not working correctly.  Since the images are available for those dates at some point I hope to generate movies for all those dates.   At some point I would also love to change the movie format to non-flash so it’s compatible with more devices.

Here’s the time lapse from today http://www.boulderflatironcam.com/archive_and_timelapse.php?nextday=20120105&&type=TimeLapse

Leave a comment if you like the videos or would like to see something changed.

The camera is down for maintenance after it stopped responding a few days ago. Hopefully, the fix will be quick!

Update:  The camera seems to be working on another network.  I’ll get it back in place tomorrow and troubleshoot the network.

Update: 6/8:  Cleaned the camera and got the network troubles resolved.  The smudges in the picture must be dust on the actual camera sensor.  I didn’t take the lens off.  Maybe next time I have it down.   Happy viewing!

Scott is going to make a change tomorrow to point the webcam to the north so can get live views of the fourmile fire west of Boulder.   Let’s hope the wind calms down tonight and the fire fighters can get things under control tomorrow.  Add a comment if there’s anything we can do to help the evacuated residents.

It looks like the only webcam I know of up in fourmile may have lost power during the fire.  http://bmanthy.com/webcam.php

Today’s timelapse catches a bit of the smoke in the afternoon.

From Fairview High School in Boulder.

Beautiful weather this morning in Boulder as a storm moved through then the sun came out.  Looking east from Boulder was better but the webcam view to the west has some nice shots today.

This wave of snow in the early afternoon was pretty cool.   The time lapse was also good today but it seems a little choppy. It didn’t capture the interesting weather today as well as I’d hoped.

So far this month the small preview image of the BFC has 37 Million requests.  I had no idea it was getting so many visits.  What is this Mozilla Agent on the Mac?  Dashboard widget?

Love the motion of the clouds. Five minute updates just don’t have the same liquid quality.
